Personality
Like her older sister, Candy likes to tease others.<ref name="11.5 1">“Such a dork,” Candy said, before switching to French to better articulate that lameness. Candy was a smaller version of her older sister. She had a similar teasing demeanor, from what I could tell, but without the flirting aspect.
Chastity retorted with something else, so rapid-fire that I couldn’t even tell where the words started or stopped.
The Kenzie-aged Candy’s response was sharp, and sounded weirdly religious- I wasn’t sure if my mind was seeing faces in clouds, putting meanings to foreign words that weren’t there.
There was enough violence in the words and enough of a glittering look in the young girl’s eye that I felt the need to say something. “Do we need to step in?” - Excerpt from Blinding 11.5</ref> She is good at reading people, to the point that Victoria mistakenly thought she might have a lie-detection power.<ref>“She doesn’t have a lie sense,” Chastity said. “She has a hallucination power. We went over our powers.”
“I just called you a liar,” Candy said, gleefully. “You seemed a bit hesitant so I tried it, and it totally worked.” - Excerpt from Blinding 11.6</ref>
Relationships
Chastity Vasil
Chastity is Candy's full sister. She is the only Heartbroken to share a mother with Candy. They have the kind of relationship that involves a lot of teasing and arguing back and forth.<ref name="11.5 1" />
Abilities and Powers
Candy is able to induce intense and sensory-complete hallucinations of whatever the target loves most. The intensity and length of these hallucinations depend on how much accumulated "juice" Candy uses on them, with a full dose starting a hallucination that can last 5 straight days. These hallucinations are so intense, that usually the person afflicted will end up hating whatever it is they used to love.<ref name="b11.6">“I have a certain amount of juice that refills over time. I can push it into people… can’t dodge it, can’t stop it. Makes you see, hear, feel, taste what you like most in the world, except it maps to everything. Makes you sick of it, really fast. If I push in a lot of juice then it’s a lot of seeing things and hearing things, tasting things and feeling things, and it takes forever to go away. By the time it does, you’ll never go back to liking that thing.” Blinding 11.6</ref> If Candy does not use up the juice she has saved up, it will start to unconsciously affect the people around her.<ref>“Don’t use a full tank on anyone here, okay? No matter how dire the situation is. No permanent effects,” I said.
“Can’t anyway. If I’m full up then I start brimming over and affecting people around me. I wouldn’t do that to my cousins or anyone like Chicken Little or Lookout,” Candy said. “I find people to dose.” - Excerpt from Blinding 11.6</ref>
Unlike other capes with emotion-affecting powers, Candy does not have a secondary Thinker power that allows her to read emotions.<ref>“Emotion powers usually have some feedback aspect to them, or emotion reading.”
“Often,” she said. “Not me.” - Excerpt from Blinding 11.6</ref>
